Fella's;
I'm in the process of resurrecting a barn find. It's a 1965 Ford F250 3/4T 4WD long box pickup. The powertrain is a 292 Y-block V8 & a four speed, the hubs seem to be Warne turn-outs. Got it out of the old garage yesterday, that was relatively easy. Then I had to get the agricultural spray rig out of the bed of the pickup, that was a bit of a project it's own self. The rig is a 500 gallon tank on its own frame that also has its own engine to drive the pump. Hoses & spray bars everywhere, to catch on anything possible, to add gray hairs to my already lumpy noggin. This all got started when I looked the truck up on the NADA classic cars blue book. It has appreciated since my father-in-law bought it. High book is over $23,000.00! That's just nuts & this truck in no way qualifies. But, it's all there, all original, and in running condition. OTOH, it's been a ranch truck all it's life and it shows. A show-stopping beauty it ain't! Nonetheless, median sale price is shown as well over $11.000. And I think that's optimistic. I've contracted with a local guy, who I've known for several years, he's another motorcycle nut, to help put the thing on E-bay motors. He says that a reserve of $8,000 is what his experience says is reasonable. His thought is that once the reserve is met, frequently the bidding gets more enthusiastic because then the vehicle is sold, it's just determining the who it's sold to. He's got me looking for any old records the ranch has on it. Old registrations, log book, original bill of sale, stuff like that. It's supposed to really be able to influence the price it ultimately goes for. It also means digging through an incredible amount of old ranch records. What fun! I need a beer. 900F |

Uh, the sprayer is a John Deere brand. It'd probably cost more than the truck is gonna bring to replace it. As far as the truck goes, give me 10K and it's yours. 900F |

The sprayer more than doubles the price. Not only pics, but video will be up on the E-bay motors site when it hits. But when it does, it's outta my hands. 900F |

It's now up on E-bay motors. My above description had one major error, it's not a 292 Y-block. In 1965 Ford changed the powerplant & dropped the Y-block. So, it's a first year 208 HP 352cid engine. It's also low mileage, under 76,000 miles! It's not cherry though, oh boy. Search for an F250, gas, under 100,000 miles & it should pop right up. There are 4 videos as well as pics. 900F |
